Sanskrit: Level 4

Building upon Level 1, 2, and 3 Sanskrit courses, we widen the range of what we can read and understand as we learn new grammar together.

COURSE DETAILS

In this course, we build upon what we learned in the Level 1, 2, and 3 Sanskrit courses. We widen the range of what we can read and understand as we learn new grammar together.

Level 4 begins with a study of chapters 7 and 8 of Yogāvatāraṇam: The Translation of Yoga (excerpts included). This combines traditional Indian and Western academic methods of learning Sanskrit. We start with the future tense and pronouns, and then conclude Part I of the book with a sandhi review.

Moving on to Part 2 we learn consonant-ending nouns as well as verbs from some of the athematic classes.

We will continue to chant and translate verses from yoga-related texts as well as verses from the Upaniṣads and a series of verses attributed to Śaṅkarācarya.
